LARGE SIZE SINGLE BEDDING HYACINTHS 
For Outdoor Beds and Borders 
Of course some people do use this size Bulb for growing in the house, in water and in soil, for 
Winter flowers, and they are sometimes forced in greenhouses, in pots, but their proper purpose 
is for setting outdoors, this Fall, in beds and borders, for early Spring blooming. 
They are used in greater number than all the larger sizes combined, on account of price, hut 
they give splendid satisfaction, every Bulb shooting a flower, with a good, large spike of exquisite 
bloom. We offer only the most desirable named varieties, that have proved themselves successful 
for American planting, and the growers report to us from Holland that the Bulbs are larger and 
finer than for years, well rounded, heavy, and true to name. Our prices are very 'dlose to the 
actual cost of importing.

We want to emphasize the fact that the only difference in the Bulbs offered in our Catalogue 
at the highest prices and those at the lower prices is the size of the Bulbs. You will note that 
ma-iy Hyacinths of the same names are included in several collections. Sometimes we nut, in 
different named sorts, when there happens to be more than one named Flower that is eciuallv de¬ 
sirable. We do not list a single inferior variety of any class of Bulbs in our entire Catalogue.
